Aaron Sorkin will pen a new stage adaptation of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, set to premiere on Broadway in the 2017-18 season. Bartlett Sher will direct the production, which will be produced by Scott Rudin.

Additional information, including cast and exact dates, will be announced later.

Sorkin’s previously plays include A Few Good Men and The Farnsworth Invention. He won an Oscar in 2011 for the adapted screenplay of The Social Network and a Golden Globe this year for Steve Jobs. He also created the series The West Wing, Sports Night, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and The Newsroom.

Lee’s novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1961; today, over 50 million copies are in print in over 40 languages. Set in Alabama in the 1930s, it follows Atticus Finch, a small-town lawyer who agrees to defend a black man accused of rape. The story explores how the uproar following Atticus’ decision affects his two kids: Scout and Jem. The 1962 film adaptation directed by Robert Mulligan starred Gregory Peck.
